"The virus has given us a picture, at once frightening and beautiful, of
a world without tourism. We see now what happens to our public goods
when tourists aren’t clustering to exploit them. Shorelines enjoy a
respite from the erosion caused by cruise ships the size of canyons.
Walkers stuck at home cannot litter mountainsides. Intricate culinary
cultures are no longer menaced by triangles of defrosted pizza. It is
hard to imagine a better illustration of tourism’s effects than our
current holiday away from it."
Via Esther Schindler.
